The magnetic stir thing is the best!!! I found these guys last year when I moved into a house with a un kept pool, and I have never owned a pool before. They got me on track and perfect all year and opening this year was perfect!. The Magnetic stirrer is a must for me, I am not coordinated...

So I rented a house last spring that had an in-ground pool. My first ever experience with a pool. I was unsure of what to do and started the classic googling. I was referred to this site by another forum and I started reading through the Pool School articles (A Must!!!). I was unsure what I...

BJ's wholesale in Wilmington DE and South of Philly area(can't remember the town) has %12.5 Pool Shock for 13.99 for a case of 4 (128oz). Equals $3.49 a gallon for %12.5. "]

In all seriousness Brandyfer, you need to stop doing what you think is right. And seriously take a listen to the people on this forum. It may take some time or it might not, but do not look for a quick fix. Quick easy fixes are what made your water turn green in the first place. Once you get on...

should have thrown some turtles in there....maybe 4 of them.......

My local BJ's has Pool Shock in a 4 bottle case at %12.5 I can't remember the exact price but it worked out to around 3.33 a gallon. so about 30 cents more than walmart for 12.5%

Sad to say but you probably won't be able to swim right away. Like everyone will say on here. http://www.troublefreepool.com/content/ Read the Pool School link and read it, then read it again, then again. Don't put anything in your pool other than what is listed under the Pool School...

Work on a ship??? Wouldn't be the Diligence would it?? Anyway i used to be stationed in Oak Island about 45 minutes south of Wilmington and i'm originally from NC, so if you have any questions about the area i'm glad to help. Anyway, definately listen to these people on here. They are a...

Got home this afternoon and the FC had dropped a bit (My CYA is about 30-35 so not the best sunscreen) due to our 92* super sunny day. But as you can see i am crystal clear!! I vacuumed everything and got all the sand out of the pool so everything is looking good. FC - 10.6 (bumped it back up...

FYI how much Granuals for CYA did you add. Sometimes it can take a WEEK to get a good reading for CYA, unless you use the liquid (seems pretty quick). just an FYI on CYA.

I was under the impression you don't need to dilute it. just pour it in over the return and if you worrie just pour slower. if you are really concerned take a brush and sweep underneath where you poured to get rid of "hot-spots" in case it didn't mix when you first poured it. if you do it that...

More like the pool company made things "not right". Im excited.

Yea less than 24 hours to be honest. Amazing when you actually filter right?!?!?!? I still have a little CC .5-1 so i'm gonna keep running the SLAM going until i get that to 0. I have the wife babystitting the Bleach today until i get off work. when i get home i'll vacuum everything up now that...

Success!!!!!!! Its amazing what one day with filter that is actualy filtering can do! Yesterday right after i cleaned the filter "] This morning "] Hard to tell in the pic cause it was early but it is crystal clear! the dark blue square is where the ladder usually is installed. Now to just...

So i vacuumed this morning and for the first time i could see the vacuum head on the bottom in the shallow end (just barely). i could also notice that some of my color in my pool was due to sediment on the bottom because i could see a change as I vacuumed. Noticed my PSI was back up to 15 PSI...
